Up front cost cannot cover the ongoing API costs they must be paying for Google Maps. So either this has to be free and just a front end for the same shit, or they’ll still end up net negative.
They are adding a “Steam pass”, which doesn’t let you play on the web and your web subscription doesnt let you play the Steam version. Just play Geotastic instead.
Why?
Can run a little bitcoin mine in the background this way
Trading Cards and probably TF2 hats.
Money.
They already added a subscription.

I found out recently that steam now let’s devs create subscriptions as opposed to one-time charges, so it’s 110% that
Ain’t no way I’ll pay that.
I would have discussed if it meant a one time payment but hell nah.
Google Maps API isn’t free
I mentioned one time pay.
If it’s that expensive, I can’t help you (or the devs) because I won’t play it then :-)
